Community Partnerships
While the KGHS depends on donations and memberships to financially support its operation, community partnerships are also an invaluable source of support.
Kentfield School District
Kentfield Schools were the inspiration that formed the KGHS. When then superintendent, Bob Caine, began building a committee to research and create a published history of the KSD, former and then-current teachers, staff, students and community members came together to volunteer. Additionally, with the school district’s blessing and support, the KGHS planned and held a highly-attended Centennial Celebration of Kent School on the Kent campus that galvanized the greater communities’ participation. Today, KGHS continues to provide historical presentations for 3rd graders as part of the students’ curriculum. Students from both schools also participate in KGHS community events.
Kentfield Fire Department
A participant with KGHS since the planning of KGHS's 2014 Centennial Celebration of Kentfield Schools, the Kentfield Fire Department continues to support and promote KGHS events through its participation. Currently preparing to celebrate its own 100-year milestone, we want to thank our fire department for continuing to keep our community safe and informed. Also, a very special thank you goes to KGHS board member Paul Smith who served the Kentfield Fire District for 41 years before retiring in 2016. Paul is currently researching and writing a history of the fire district.
Bon Air Center
Due to the generous support of Bon Air Center and Andrea Schultz, KGHS co-sponsors its annual “Community Day” celebration with and at the Bon Air Center. Community Day showcases over 65 community organizations, food vendors and performances by local groups during this one day celebration of Kentfield/Greenbrae's history, local schools and community organizations.
College of Marin
A partner of KGHS since 2016, College of Marin co-hosted KGHS's month-long art show, "George Demont Otis -- American Impressionist" which featured landscapes of Marin County dating from the 1930's through the 1960's.
​
In October of 2025, KGHS made a longterm loan of its oil painting, "Ross Landing, circa 1871" to the College. The painting depicts a glorious view of Mt. Tamalpais and the area which today is called Kentfield. It can be viewed in COM's main office in the Academic Center.
​
Currently, KGHS is excited to partner and support College of Marin as it prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary through a robust slate of community events during 2025 and 2026.
